Clear as a bell Shiraz without any of the super ripe characters of Barossa or the floral characters of cool areas. A relaxed loose knit style, potentially a wine of great charm. Certainly very high on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=winereview.wordpress.com&amp;blog=140355&amp;post=2341&amp;subd=winereview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[90++ points Chinon, Loire, France. 14% Loire reds have long been dismissed as light Summer picnic wines. Indeed Cabernet Franc has this reputation in general even though some very substantial long-lived Bordeaux feature Cabernet Franc as a substantial part of their blend. I suspect that the Loire has been producing serious reds for some while [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=winereview.wordpress.com&amp;blog=140355&amp;post=2337&amp;subd=winereview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[90 points Medoc, Bordeaux.  13.5% Firm, somewhat minerally claret.  This is Potensac in two very good vintages.  Good food wine. Very similar wines, which is not surprising.  The extra 5 years has softened the 2000 and toned down the smidge of new oak.  Suggests to me that Potensac isn&#8217;t built for aging, certainly it holds [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=winereview.wordpress.com&amp;blog=140355&amp;post=2335&amp;subd=winereview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[90 points Coonawarra, South Australia.  14% Interesting contrast to the Penfolds Kalimna 1998.  Both clearly from the same stable with Penfolds density of fruit, heavy oak and added acid &#8211; not over-blown but tight, built for age.  The Kalimna is warmer, with more sweetness &#8211; showing Barossa fruit and American oak.  The Bin 128 is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=winereview.wordpress.com&amp;blog=140355&amp;post=2333&amp;subd=winereview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[88+ points Morgon, Beaujolais. 13% I don&#8217;t like young reds. This is just starting to shed its youthful freshness and turn into something worth drinking. I think it will become something quite fine. It&#8217;s very clean, poised, with precise ripe fruit just peaking through the veil of youthful acidity. There is a hint of real [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=winereview.wordpress.com&amp;blog=140355&amp;post=2325&amp;subd=winereview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[91+ points Haut-Medoc. 13% More burly than the Houghton Jack Mann 2007 tasted alongside, with obvious but ripe tannin. Yet this also has a freshness and lightness that cheaper 2005 clarets aren&#8217;t showing. This is a classy wine. Enjoyable now but better in 5 years. Will last 20 years.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=winereview.wordpress.com&amp;blog=140355&amp;post=2318&amp;subd=winereview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[90+ points Western Australia. 14% Much less of a blockbuster than I expected. I expected a denser, younger, more syrupy wine. It&#8217;s nice that it&#8217;s lighter more charming with clear pretty fruit. However for one of Australia&#8217;s very top Cabernets it is quite simple, lacking the texture and tannin of Bordeaux. Drink now to 2022.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=winereview.wordpress.com&amp;blog=140355&amp;post=2313&amp;subd=winereview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
